where you place your eyes has a lot to
do with how this year is gonna turn out
I want that to soak in where you place
your eyes has a lot to do with how this
year is going to turn out if you don’t
change your outlook you are not really
having a new year you are having a
continuation of the OL year I’m gonna be
talking tonight about a new outlook a
new outlook all eyes on him all eyes on
him when you have it’s a man and they
journeyed from the Mount hor by the way
of the Red Sea to compass’ the land of
edom and the soul of the people was much
discouraged because of the way because
of the way the soul of the people was
much discouraged because of how hard it
was to get things done and the people
speak against God and against Moses
wherefore have you brought us out of
Egypt to die in the wilderness there is
no bread neither is there any water and
I’m sick I’m sick I’m sick of this bread
this light bread
tired of it and the Lord sent fiery
serpents among the people and they bit
the people and much people of Israel
died therefore the people came to Moses
and said we have sinned for we have
spoken against the Lord and against thee
Lord give us more people who were
reprinted we need more people who repent
not people who were saying all over top
of you and never say nothing and never
make it right the people came to Moses
and said we have sinned for we have
spoken against the Lord and against thee
pray unto the Lord that he take away the
Serpent’s from us and Moses prayed for
the people who were talking about him
good God of mercy
and the Lord said unto Moses make thee a
fiery Serpent and set it upon a pole and
it shall come to pass that every one
that is bidden when he looketh upon it
shall live good God it took let me say I
wanted me so I got there right it shall
come to pass that every one that is
bitten when he looketh upon it shall
live and Moses made a serpent of brass
and put it upon a pole and it came to
pass that if a serpent had bitten any
man when he beheld the serpent of brass
he lived all eyes on him this is going
to be a profound message particularly
for people who have been working at a
deficit
who have impairments problems situations
complications for people who have been
bitten but refused to be beaten this is
a powerful word for people who didn’t
always get it right
haven’t always handled the right things
in the right way have come up under
attack but you’re still here this is a
turning point word for you before I
release it I want you to understand that
I take tonight seriously I have come to
realize that people come from everywhere
at great expense to set the tone for
their year from this place so I don’t
just throw together anything I lay
before God for weeks to hear from him I
will start something tonight that I will
teach over the next few weeks and I’m
going to teach it because it’s important
because where you place your eyes has a
lot to do with how this year is gonna
turn out I want that to soak in where
you place your eyes has a lot to do with
how this year is going to turn out if
you don’t change your outlook you are
not really having a new year you are
having a continuation of the OL year are
you ready to hear from God father we are
in your house tonight because we put you
first there are a lot of places we could
go there are a lot of places that others
went there are beautiful fireworks and
displays going off in Fort Worth and in
Dallas but we bypass them all the
nightclubs are filled to capacity but we
drove past
because that’s not really what we wanted
the house parties are running the mug
but we decided not to go because we know
that in order to get where we’re trying
to go we need you to help us get there I
asked you to speak the word with such
clarity and such power today that we are
never the same again and I believe you
for it in Jesus name
somebody shout Amen you may be seated I
want to welcome Daystar tonight and the
entire day star finally and DeMarcus and
Jody lab we greet it with love and joy
and feast and we’re excited here at the
potter’s house as we’re going into the
Word of God we expect a miracle in this
place we have decided to turn our gaze
from the mundane ritualistic routines of
this world the commonality of the flesh
and that that breeds carnality breeds
contempt and we have made up our mind
and lift up our eyes to the heels from
with come of our help and we’re focusing
on all eyes on him say that with me all
eyes on him see that all is an important
thing to consider you cannot have the
vision and have unity we got to all look
at the same thing expect the same thing
we got to start talking the same thing I
want your vision to get in your
conversation in your house you’ve been
talking the wrong talk but things are
about to change
say it with me things are about to
change
you said it like your back hurt and said
things are about to change see the
reason I want to sort of fervor because
you’re gonna make them change you’re not
just gonna watch them change you’re not
just gonna let them change you’re gonna
make up change say things are about to
change I know some of you are scared to
say it because you have been taught to
wait on God but I’m breaking that cycle
because you’re not waiting on God God is
waiting on you
things are about to change lordy that
you think I’m just coming to church to
be coming to church I’m coming to church
because I expect a change in my life I
expect a change in my life and not just
in my circumstances but in me whatever
you need to change in me that’s in the
way of getting a breakthrough I released
you to change it I don’t want to be in
the remedial class of the kingdom of God
I’m ready to accelerate the plan and go
into the advanced class I don’t have
long whatever is going to happen in my
life is going to have to happen fast I
can’t spend 40 years going through
foolishness and stubbornness I don’t
have long I’ve got to get it right this
year anybody else got to get it right
this year I got to get it right this
year I got to get it right this year
when I read the text I was shocked I was
shocked how could these people be angry
with God at the Red Sea how can you walk
past the place God just delivered you
and downed him it’s not just that they
doubted Corian Swire they doubted right
in the face of a miracle God had just
brought them through they vomit and come
these are the same people who danced at
the Red Sea
how can dancers turn to doubters the
same people who grab tambourines and
dance as her greatest enemy was defeated
favorite 600 chosen cherries had been
cast into the Red Sea and while they
were drowning Marian was dancing God had
showed himself strong in their life how
can you go from dancing before God to
damning the God you danced before well
the Bible is clear he says that they
were murmuring and complaining because
of the way he brought them it was tough
the way it was rugged it was rough I
need to apologize on behalf of all of
the preachers of my error who taught you
that if you believe God everything would
be easy that if you really had faith
that this supernatural miracle was going
to happen that required no sweat
they created a spiritual welfare system
this laying that clam it claim it blab
it grab it go get it his Shores spread
around one time hop on one foot and
you’re gonna get the new car they told
you about the carpet they didn’t tell
you about the payments the way he takes
us believe God for the house law believe
God for the payments you can get the
house it’s the payments that’s the
problem
they complained about the way he took
them it is the way you go beautiful
couple just did a beautiful thing up
here declaring their love one toward
each other but once you get through
throwing rice then you got a deal with
the way
and you don’t get to pick the way he
takes you that’s what I hate about it if
I could just pick the way he took me
everything would be alright but I don’t
get to pick the way he takes me I don’t
get to pick who he lets hurt me I don’t
get to pick who he lets hurt me I don’t
get to pick what I have to suffer I
don’t get to pick my cross I have to
take up a cross
I didn’t pick I don’t like this world
give me the blue one I don’t like the
red one give me the yellow one no you
just get what you got well unless we go
through this way they murmured and
complain against God
it hurts when dancing turns to doubt
when the circumstances that you face
have turned you against God I know
they’re tough circumstances but they
were walking by the Red Sea so it’s not
like God didn’t give them evidence of
his power to get you through the
supernatural everybody in here has got
at least one miracle you can’t explain
one miracle that made no sense one
miracle where God did something in your
life that you know that had to be the
Lord there was no way you were supposed
to get out of that but God brought you
out of that can I get a witness
a real winner
this place God will let you go through
something with none of your tricks you
remember your scams and none of your
degrees and none of your money and none
of your kid people can get you out and
will see enemies got you all tied up in
knots and it looks like you’ll never get
out God and cut through all of those
ropes and bring you up so that you have
a testimony and he’ll leave it in sight
to remind you that if it had not been
for the Lord that was on your side you
would have been swallowed up how can God
be so good and make such a way and then
we doubt him our doubt might set him it
bites it him it’s a painful thing to be
doubted your integrity disrespected it
occurred to me that this doubting was
not just about God they had a pathology
of doubting
these people had murmured and complained
before they had murmured and complained
against Pharaoh the same people who
murmured and complained against Pharaoh
that got God to come down and deliver
them the first place
now murmur and complain against God now
I can understand you murmuring and
complaining against Pharaoh because
favor was a slave master he was abusive
and he treated you like dirt and he made
you make bricks without straw and he
didn’t feed you and he didn’t care for
you they didn’t love you and he killed
your babies and then God delivered you
from this death mongering man and
brought you out from under his hand and
gave you so much more than you ever had
but when you have a pathology
and complaining you don’t know how to be
happy I mean these are powderpuff people
saying oh you know the wagon ride was
tough I’m getting a callus on my hips oh
you know the food service was cold it
was late coming I don’t like this what
are you talking about you were slaves
but what gives us amnesia that we forget
how bad it was before and we fall back
into these patterns these pathologies of
murmuring and complaining
I guess because I’ve counseled people
for 41 years I am aware that if you have
a murmuring individual they won’t be
happy until they find something to
murmur about I don’t care if you put
them in a Taj Mahal they say you don’t
take too long for the water get out in
these big buildings you got to wait too
long for the water get hot in my old
houses soon as you train these figured
out the water got hot
some people don’t find something to
complain about I don’t care what you do
that’s why they’re driving some of the
rest of us crazy because we need their
validation have you ever been working
hard to please somebody that’s never
satisfied come on were my real people
and no matter what you do it’s never
enough they look past everything you did
and find someone there’s as follow me a
jacket and you just want to well you
know I’m human I admit it I confess
sometimes when people disrespect your
best effort it makes you angry when
you’ve done everything you can do for
them and they still complain it makes
you angry
don’t make your love so expensive
oh that’s a tweetable right there if you
make your love too expensive people
eventually give up they get tired of
working to please you and getting
nothing but complaints in return
this isn’t about God this is about you
now when you complained about favor you
had a right to complain but some people
even if God let him they would hate him
to show he is hard you’ve been working
in the hot Sun for four hundred years
this is a piece of cake compared to that
when you have a pathology of complaining
you are only comfortable when you’re
unhappy you have to give yourself
permission to be happy to say you know
what this is so much better than that
I’m so grateful yes I have to eat the
same thing every day this stuff keeps
dropping down from heaven they call
manna it’s not exactly seasoned the way
I would season it but I’m gonna make it
work for me because I know what it needs
to live in a life where what nothing
drop in my way and now I see something
drop in my way talk to me real people
and I have learned that until you become
grateful you will never become
victorious you have to learn how to be
grateful for where you are I’m all for
being ambitious I’m all for being
aggressive but don’t let your ambition
make you ungrateful it is when you
appreciate where you are that God takes
you to the next level I told a friend of
mine the other day I said I feel funny
giving my testimony sometimes when I
tell people about how I came up and how
they took my car
I had to thumb to church and how I
passed it over ten years and didn’t have
a hundred members and how small and tiny
my church was and how none of the peels
matched and how I was working and
pastoring
at the same time working a full-time job
and getting off work and going to Pastor
when I get off work and then look at me
and they feel so sorry for me but what
they don’t understand is that when I was
living like that and going through that
it didn’t look to me like it sounds
because I was so glad that God had asked
me to do anything I was so excited about
that little church I lived that place up
it was a little storefront and I had a
chandelier right in the middle of it yes
I did I was fixing that thing up had it
all fixed up put a wreath on the door at
Christmas time it was rusty but it was a
wreath on the door glory to God because
whatever God gives you until you
appreciate where you’re at you’re not
going to get the release of what God is
about to do in your life or somebody out
a shout me down over there some people
even say you got to get grateful one of
the things that God teaches us is how to
be grateful when things and I’ll finish
the Bible says that when God was
creating the heaven on earth and the
earth was without form and void and
darkness covered the face of the need
and God said let there be light and
there was light at the end everybody
said and it was good
now the vegetation hadn’t come yet
and as far as hadn’t been placed in
place yet and the cows hadn’t begin to
move yet and the trees hadn’t begin to
wave yet but even though there were
still some muddy stuff all around God
said it was good
God is teaching us how to praise Him
even when things aren’t finished even
when everything’s not laid out even when
things are not in place you got to be
able to have small praise wings and say
I may not be finished yet but I thank
you for a little change in my life I
know you’re waiting on the big testimony
there’s gonna tear the church apart but
you got to give him praise for the
little stuff little stuff that don’t
make sense to other people when you’re
fighting your way out
you gotta get happy because you got your
hair done well I got my hair done thank
you Jesus
I’ve know it sounds silly there’s
somebody else but when you been in a
fight that’s a victory for you you need
to claim your victory there’s a
pathology of murmuring and complaining
and generally we get it from our parents
it’s passed down from the environment we
grow up in if you grow up in a race in a
house with somebody who’s unhappy they
teach you to look at life from an
unhappy perspective and even though you
hate it that when they were there it’s
contagious how many of you I don’t want
to put you on the spot find yourself
acting like your parents in a bad way
certain things that come up with you
then nobody taught you this nobody took
you to school like this but when you get
mad you flip out just like your dad
armed Helen comes back to life that’s
the pathology that is the pathology that
perverts us and causes us to linger in
the wilderness of our past because we
are still reacting to the way we take in
a spirit of bitterness number two when
they spoke against God they spoke
against
Moses generally when you are bitter not
only are you bitter against God but you
become bitter against God’s man that
goes together you can’t hate him and not
hate his representative while he keeps
saying that why he keep saying that
ain’t nothing to him they murmured and
complain almost every time you see them
murmuring against God
the next verse says they both they
murmured against Moses those things are
connected they are connected because the
enemy wants you to kill off your help so
when he gets to killing out all the
paramedics then he’s gonna let you have
a rack now you can’t call on nobody
because you spoke against everybody let
me tell you it’s hard to get your kids
to come to church when you’ve been
talking about the trans folk and loud
Willy’s on crack and you need him to
come to church but he doesn’t want to
come to church
cuz you killed all your help with your
mouth
[Applause]
they murmur and complain against Moses
and against God Moses didn’t do them but
God did God said I’m not taking this he
said I’m not taking this you were in
slavery and cried unto me I pulled you
out I pull you out of jail I pull you
out of hell I pull you out of abusive
relationships I pull you out of things
that had you stayed in you would have
been dead by now and you sit over
talking about you don’t have a new car
you was locked up in a cell block you
were living in a house somebody beaten
you upside the head now you talk about
your car don’t have stereo come on we
gonna be real tonight
and they murmured against God because of
the way he took them and that would have
been okay if these were kids born with
silver spoons in their mouth these were
folk born in slavery what happened I had
was better than where they came from
[Applause]
when I was driving down the road going
to a little town called Smithers I was
happy going to that little raggedy
Church didn’t bother me that didn’t have
no heating and I figured when we went to
shop already heat up this is why I said
what you gonna do free heat we gonna
shout when we all get there and going to
shine this gonna heat up the understand
what I’m talking about look at back head
and it sounds bad but when I was looking
at it it sounded good cuz I didn’t look
at it the way they looked at it I was
looking at it through the eyes of faith
they were looking at what it is I was
looking at what it could be you need to
stop looking at what it is and look at
what it can be
talk to me somebody
[Applause]
slap your name and tell them I’m getting
ready to work that thing the thing
you’ve been laughing at that thing
you’ve been making fun that thing you
said would never be nothing the thing
you said would never be anybody that
person you know I’m getting ready to
walk that path I only got two fish and
five loaves of bread but I’m getting
ready to work that thing I only got one
rock and a rag but I’m getting ready to
work that thing I’d only got the job but
[Applause]
I’m not gonna leave whatever I got
behind and say it’s too hard the way is
too hard and God got mad and God got mad
I don’t care who else get mad I don’t
like for God to give my head
I don’t want God to get mad I’m still
scared of God I’m scared of what I say
thank you Jesus I get around people
sometimes they get loose and they get to
using profanity and they don’t really
bother me until they use gb or something
like that and when they do that I get
real uncomfortable
cuz I figured he don’t like that and I
started moving away from you so that if
he decided to get you he don’t get me
cuz I respect him I respect him I
respect him I yes sir him respect has
gone out of style as well my brother was
nervous he called me Jackson y’all said
Bishop Jake’s he did it because he’s
nervous but some people do it because
they don’t have no respect respect is
gone out of style there I am almost
there I am 60 years old order to be your
grandfather and you calling me TV
respect has gone out of style it’s good
have respect it’s good to have honor I
don’t talk to God just any kind of way I
don’t talk to old folks just any kind of
way it don’t hurt me nothing to respect
you you was here when I was comin that
don’t belittle me to respect the fact
that you got here first if there were no
you there’d be no me honor thy father
that mother that that days may be long
in there that means the reason some folk
dies because they never honor those that
are ahead of them honoring that mean I
always agree with you it doesn’t mean
that you’re perfect it doesn’t mean that
you’re always right it just means I’m
respecting what I’m becoming
I’m respecting what I’m becoming
I respect age because I’m aging and if I
don’t respect it then I won’t be
respected and they anger God with their
disrespect and he sent serpents to bite
them and they died they died they died
the people he saved died the people he
rescued dad the people he brought out
died the people he fought free world for
died the people that six hundred
chariots drowned four died and they died
beside the Red Sea because of their
mouth I bet you at least 50% of the
troubles you have gone through in your
life have come a result of things that
have come out of your mouth when are we
going to learn that once you say
something you can’t take it back when
are we going to learn to shut our mouths
their mouths got them in trouble the
power of life and death is in the
Tongass they said things to a God who is
a speaking God
their words bit him he bit him back he
said serpents they bit liver and a lot
of them died because of their mouth I
want that to sink in we’re killing our
marriages with our mouths we’re killing
our children with our mouths we kill our
ministries with our mouths we kill our
careers with our mouths we lose our jobs
with our mouths we fall out with people
that God sent in our lives to bless us
with our mouths God opens doors that we
close with our mouths if we’re going
into 2018 the first thing we got to
learn to do is set up
say this with me in 2018 I will shut up
in 2018 I won’t say everything I think
in 2018 I will let myself be quiet now
going to shouting over what God is gonna
do when you just yeah yeah you’re gonna
cut your enemies in half just by
shutting up God wants to put you in
places that you don’t have to be quiet
when you get there or you’re gonna lose
those opportunities like you lost those
other humppa to do they don’t make you
shout and I know that I didn’t get you
excited but somebody’s got to tell you
the truth some of that stuff you lost it
wasn’t the devil it was because you
couldn’t handle it it was because you
said stuff that changed the way people
treated you and now you’re upset with
them like a demon was fighting you but
you have been snared by the words of
your mouth and if you would shut your
mouth the devil wouldn’t happen up in
the one where that’s the baby say shut
your mouth
shut your mouth shut your mouth 20:18
shut your mouth you won’t see some
things but shut your mouth you I hear
some things would shut your mouth God’s
gonna give you some opportunities but
shut your mouth you’re gonna go into
places you’ve never been before but shut
your mouth glory to God he’s gonna put
you in situations that are against what
you’re used to but shut your mouth I
don’t know who I’m talking to but I feel
like I’m talking to somebody some of
your children are not gonna be one
because of what you say they’re gonna be
one because of what you don’t say shut
your mouth if you said it five times
before saying it fat fat boy gonna make
it work no better shut your mouth if
it’s not working why don’t we keep doing
it shut your mouth why do we bark
everybody away and then cry because
their God shut your mouth you’re killing
yourself shut your mouth
and so God kill them he killed them
because of their mouth and they died and
there’s nothing I can do about them
because there are some people that won’t
change and they have to die and that’s
hard for me to say that cuz I believe
I’m in the business of changing people
but after 41 years I’ve come to realize
I don’t care what you preach some people
are gonna do what they want to do and
they’re gonna say what they want to say
and they’re gonna die in the wilderness
because they will not shut up but then
there was another group they got bitten
but they weren’t dead
they had bidden they swole up they got
sick they threw up that they weren’t
dead and they went to Moses who they’ve
been talking about and they said I know
I’m in trouble because I spoke against
God and I spoke against you we don’t
have that anymore I told you a few weeks
ago we don’t have revival because we
don’t have repentance you can’t have
revival I don’t care who you bring in to
preach you can’t have revival until you
have repentance when you have done wrong
sometimes you got to go to somewhere
I’ve been running my mouth and I’m sorry
I said some stuff I shouldn’t have said
and I recognize I’m a better person than
that and I want you to forgive me see
what I’m trying to tell you if your
mouth got you in trouble it’s gonna take
your mouth to get you out don’t let your
mouth get so arrogant that you can’t
change
if you bold enough that you’ve just got
to keep it real well keep it real when
you wrong and really bring yourself in
here and really apologize and really get
yourself together now that’s keeping it
real keeping it real don’t work just
because you flip out on me keeping it
real is when you flip out on yourself
and say I have been running my mouth and
I am sorry I’m sorry that’s why you’re
having trouble with your children cuz
they learned it from you
that’s why they won’t apologize to you
because you never modeled it in front of
them they went to Moses and he said man
look we’ve been talking about you and
we’ve been talking about God and the
reason I’m confessing is I’m sick of
getting bitten what’s happening in my
life is a result of how I see my
leadership what’s happening in my life
is a result of how I see my God how dare
me insult the one who delivered me and
all you are guilty of is trying to pull
me through the wilderness and I’m making
it hard to be saved and Moses now has to
pray for people who were talking about
it this way you got to be a big person
to be a leader you got to be a big
person to be a leader see because if
you’re not careful you’ll get bitter
over what they did to you and then when
it’s time to pray for them you’ll be
said by them again Lord I hope they get
them again get another foot try him into
the other foot I hope he bites you in
your eye while you’re laying down there
don’t pop he’ll bite your tongue so
you’re choked to death and die way you
know you turn
because you’re human and sometimes you
have to be the bigger person just
because you’re right doesn’t give you
the right to be evil you have to be
right enough that you can help people
who got it wrong so love always has to
keep the door cracked that’s why you get
to be Moses because you’re big enough to
let a brother come back that’s how you
get to be Moses and sometimes you’ll be
acting in your Moses miss and somebody
you’re connected to this talk about Amen
the fool out of you that’s why I hate to
fool with you because you just let
people make a fool of don’t listen at
them don’t listen at them their
inability to forgive will always stop
them from being who they were meant to
be the bigger person is always big
enough to forgive and create
opportunities for them to make a
comeback there are gonna be some people
who come back in your life who have done
you wrong get ready for it in 2018
you’re coming back in your life because
they’re in the kind of trouble that only
you can pray them out of and you’ve got
to be prepared to do what God calls you
to do glory to God you can’t let your
feelings control this conversation
you’ve got to open up your heart and
open your spirit and pray for the bad
person who tries to sabotage your life
try to wreck your marriage without to
your finances trying to get your
position and now they got cancer and you
got to go in and pray for them and you
got to mean it with your brain and every
time you do it God’s gonna make you a
bigger man and a bigger woman had a
bigger person and he’s gonna open up the
windows of heaven and
have more capacity to receive what he
has for you gods get ready to it large
you and strengthen you and bill your
hula by preaching to the night well if
I’m preaching with you I got good news
you’ve been bitten but you’ve not been
beaten you’ve been bitten but you’ve not
been beaten I want to talk to people
who’ve had setbacks you’ve been bitten
but you’ve not been beaten I want to
talk to people made mistakes
and got themselves in trouble and hooked
up with the wrong folks and said the
wrong thing and got in trouble and it
looks like you’re not a real Christian
but you really are you just did some
dumb things and you got yourself in
trouble well God didn’t let it kill you
cuz he’s got a plan for your life and
the Lord sent this word to you tonight
because there’s going to be a mighty
resurrection going on in this place and
some of the very people that you thought
would never get back up again God’s

haven’t been beaten I know the devil’s
been telling you you’ve been beaten but
the devil is alive you have been busy
but you have not been beaten get that
out of your head you are not defeated if
you were defeated you would be dead God
left you here for a reason there’s a
reason the gun didn’t kill you

[Music]
I was reading about the earthquake in
Mexico and they thought everybody was
dead but there was some little girl up
underneath all the rocks they kept
making noise saying I’m alive and some
of you have been in the earthquake and
all hell has broke loose and your
neighbors said you were dead but tonight
shall
[Applause]
[Applause]
the devil don’t like it but I’m alive he
should have killed me when he had the
chance but I’m alive he bit me but he
let me alive I love some stuff you need
to show some side give up Idol side give
up Lionel praise give a final shout
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Music]
walk over it
when I paid
[Music]
so God God tells Moses he says I’m gonna
fix him now this is tough catch this I’m
gonna fix him but I’m gonna fix them
through what bit
they got bitten by a serpent and they
got healed
this is the only time in scriptures for
everybody God heal by serpent a serpent
is a symbol of evil but God said I’m
gonna use what bitches
[Applause]
now this is good anytime you heard it
but if you heard this message this
morning then this is even better because
the very thing that bit you that broke
your heart as a child that made you need
more than others that made you more
insecure than other people that made you
more vulnerable than other people the
very thing that bit you is the very
thing that God is going to use to heal
you you remember this morning when I was
talking about your board members and how
you had things that drove you to do
exceptional things and it wasn’t what
you were running to it was what you were
running from yeah some of you ran to
great things because you were running
from horrible things and the thing that
the devil meant for evil God made it
good yeah if you had not been exposed to
that you would not be as tenacious as
you are and so your ministry is made out
of your misery and the very thing that
bit them is the very thing that God used
to cure them and he said I want you to
make a serpent out of brass and in order
to make a serpent out of brass you had
to take brass and beat it and when he
was beating the brass he was acting out
Jesus who was wounded for our
transgressions and was bruised for our
iniquities and was bitten and he became
sin he became sin who knew no sin the
dog became a serpent on the cross and
epitomized everything I did wrong so
that when I looked up at the cross I
would look up at him and find life and
the Bible said even as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness so shall
the Son of Man be lifted up in the earth
in that same way God will take what was
working against you
this is powerful for where you’ve gone
in 2018 he will take the thing that was
working against you and use it to work
for you he will use it to work for you
to the point that you’re going to say it
was good for me that I was afflicted if
I had never been afflicted I would have
never seen the glory of God it was good
then it happened to me it was good that
I was afflicted it was good that I was
hurt
it was good then I was broken it was
good then I lost my job it was good that
I went through that scandal it was good
that I went through that test God’s
going to take the very thing that worked
to get you and make it work for you the
only thing that he needs from you is to
change your outlook now it takes faith
when you’ve been bitten by a serpent to
look to a serpent so when you change
your outlook for 2018 you can’t trust
the emblems of your past to determine
the implement
because God’s going to use the thing
that bit you to bless you when I was on
the front page of the paper in
Charleston it bit me it bit me for a
whole week my house is on the front page
of the paper they talked about me like I
was a dog it bit me they won’t nigger go
home all over my house they shot gun
holes through my church they tried to
scare me out of preaching the gospel
they bit me there ostracize me my mother
couldn’t take her walks my sons couldn’t
go to school it was a dark day in my
life I was bidden the woman who wrote
the first article if I could find her
I’d take her out to the finest
restaurant in Dallas
because she blessed me when she did me
because I never would have found you
[Applause]
now all of you folks who haven’t been
bitten you don’t have nothin to get
happy about but if you’ve been bitten
you ought to get happy cuz you got a
blessing coming your way
[Applause]
I wish I could meter I hope your lady if
you see this tape I’ll take you anywhere
in valise
you want to go I’ll buy you a steak so
big you’ll need two plates to hold it
I’ll treat you like gold because what
you meant to kill me gave me the
greatest blessing I’ve ever had
somebody helped me praise the night
[Applause]
[Applause]
this was the trick God said I will use
the same symbol that bit you to bless
you but this is what the trick you gonna
have to look up anything you will have
to change the way you look at the snake
he said your mouth got you in trouble
but your vision is gonna get you out I
want to spend my last few minutes
talking to people that’s got a reason
and you’ve been bitten but you got a
vision you’ve got some setbacks but you
got a vision you’ve had some swelling
but you got a vision you don’t know

you to talk that’s what I want you to
think about I’m praying like Paul that
the eyes of your understandings might be
enlightened then you might know what
it’s a hope of your calling the thing
that the Lord impressed upon me he said
you are not going to get it done just
because you’re smart in business or
you’re a great parent or you’re a great
preacher he said you’re gonna get it
done because you are back to looking at
him all eyes on him every person that
you’re touching has a dream every person
that you’re touching has a vision
they’re not trusting in themselves so
the devil can stop telling you what all
you’re not you’re not counting on you to
do it it is not by might nor by power
but by my spirit says the Lord you’re
not going to do the preaching the Holy
Ghost is gonna do the preacher
it’s gonna come up out of your belly
when you get into business meeting it’s
gonna come up out of your belly that’s
gonna make connections he’s gonna bring
a roof into the life of a Naomi he’s

your eyes has a lot to do with how this
year is going to turn out if you don’t
change your outlook you are not really
having a new year you are having a
continuation of the OL year I’m gonna be
talking tonight about a new outlook a
new outlook all eyes on him all eyes on
him when you have it’s a man and they
journeyed from the Mount hor by the way
of the Red Sea to compass’ the land of
edom and the soul of the people was much
discouraged because of the way because
of the way the soul of the people was
much discouraged because of how hard it
was to get things done and the people
speak against God and against Moses
wherefore have you brought us out of
Egypt to die in the wilderness there is
no bread neither is there any water and
I’m sick I’m sick I’m sick of this bread
this light bread
tired of it and the Lord sent fiery
serpents among the people and they bit
the people and much people of Israel
died therefore the people came to Moses
and said we have sinned for we have
spoken against the Lord and against thee
Lord give us more people who were
reprinted we need more people who repent
not people who were saying all over top
of you and never say nothing and never
make it right the people came to Moses
and said we have sinned for we have
spoken against the Lord and against thee
pray unto the Lord that he take away the
Serpent’s from us and Moses prayed for
the people who were talking about him
good God of mercy
and the Lord said unto Moses make thee a
fiery Serpent and set it upon a pole and
it shall come to pass that every one
that is bidden when he looketh upon it
shall live good God it took let me say I
wanted me so I got there right it shall
come to pass that every one that is
bitten when he looketh upon it shall
live and Moses made a serpent of brass
and put it upon a pole and it came to
pass that if a serpent had bitten any
man when he beheld the serpent of brass
he lived all eyes on him this is going
to be a profound message particularly
for people who have been working at a
deficit
who have impairments problems situations
complications for people who have been
bitten but refused to be beaten this is
a powerful word for people who didn’t
always get it right
haven’t always handled the right things
in the right way have come up under
attack but you’re still here this is a
turning point word for you before I
release it I want you to understand that
I take tonight seriously I have come to
realize that people come from everywhere
at great expense to set the tone for
their year from this place so I don’t
just throw together anything I lay
before God for weeks to hear from him I
will start something tonight that I will
teach over the next few weeks and I’m
going to teach it because it’s important
because where you place your eyes has a
lot to do with how this year is gonna
turn out I want that to soak in where
you place your eyes has a lot to do with
how this year is going to turn out if
you don’t change your outlook you are
not really having a new year you are
having a continuation of the OL year are
you ready to hear from God father we are
in your house tonight because we put you
first there are a lot of places we could
go there are a lot of places that others
went there are beautiful fireworks and
displays going off in Fort Worth and in
Dallas but we bypass them all the
nightclubs are filled to capacity but we
drove past
because that’s not really what we wanted
the house parties are running the mug
but we decided not to go because we know
that in order to get where we’re trying
to go we need you to help us get there I
asked you to speak the word with such
clarity and such power today that we are
never the same again and I believe you
for it in Jesus name
somebody shout Amen you may be seated I
want to welcome Daystar tonight and the
entire day star finally and DeMarcus and
Jody lab we greet it with love and joy
and feast and we’re excited here at the
potter’s house as we’re going into the
Word of God we expect a miracle in this
place we have decided to turn our gaze
from the mundane ritualistic routines of
this world the commonality of the flesh
and that that breeds carnality breeds
contempt and we have made up our mind
and lift up our eyes to the heels from
with come of our help and we’re focusing
on all eyes on him say that with me all
eyes on him see that all is an important
thing to consider you cannot have the
vision and have unity we got to all look
at the same thing expect the same thing
we got to start talking the same thing I
want your vision to get in your
conversation in your house you’ve been
talking the wrong talk but things are
about to change
say it with me things are about to
change
you said it like your back hurt and said
things are about to change see the
reason I want to sort of fervor because
you’re gonna make them change you’re not
just gonna watch them change you’re not
just gonna let them change you’re gonna
make up change say things are about to
change I know some of you are scared to
say it because you have been taught to
wait on God but I’m breaking that cycle
because you’re not waiting on God God is
waiting on you
things are about to change lordy that
you think I’m just coming to church to
be coming to church I’m coming to church
because I expect a change in my life I
expect a change in my life and not just
in my circumstances but in me whatever
you need to change in me that’s in the
way of getting a breakthrough I released
you to change it I don’t want to be in
the remedial class of the kingdom of God
I’m ready to accelerate the plan and go
into the advanced class I don’t have
long whatever is going to happen in my
life is going to have to happen fast I
can’t spend 40 years going through
foolishness and stubbornness I don’t
have long I’ve got to get it right this
year anybody else got to get it right
this year I got to get it right this
year I got to get it right this year
when I read the text I was shocked I was
shocked how could these people be angry
with God at the Red Sea how can you walk
past the place God just delivered you
and downed him it’s not just that they
doubted Corian Swire they doubted right
in the face of a miracle God had just
brought them through they vomit and come
these are the same people who danced at
the Red Sea
how can dancers turn to doubters the
same people who grab tambourines and
dance as her greatest enemy was defeated
favorite 600 chosen cherries had been
cast into the Red Sea and while they
were drowning Marian was dancing God had
showed himself strong in their life how
can you go from dancing before God to
damning the God you danced before well
the Bible is clear he says that they
were murmuring and complaining because
of the way he brought them it was tough
the way it was rugged it was rough I
need to apologize on behalf of all of
the preachers of my error who taught you
that if you believe God everything would
be easy that if you really had faith
that this supernatural miracle was going
to happen that required no sweat
they created a spiritual welfare system
this laying that clam it claim it blab
it grab it go get it his Shores spread
around one time hop on one foot and
you’re gonna get the new car they told
you about the carpet they didn’t tell
you about the payments the way he takes
us believe God for the house law believe
God for the payments you can get the
house it’s the payments that’s the
problem
they complained about the way he took
them it is the way you go beautiful
couple just did a beautiful thing up
here declaring their love one toward
each other but once you get through
throwing rice then you got a deal with
the way
and you don’t get to pick the way he
takes you that’s what I hate about it if
I could just pick the way he took me
everything would be alright but I don’t
get to pick the way he takes me I don’t
get to pick who he lets hurt me I don’t
get to pick who he lets hurt me I don’t
get to pick what I have to suffer I
don’t get to pick my cross I have to
take up a cross
I didn’t pick I don’t like this world
give me the blue one I don’t like the
red one give me the yellow one no you
just get what you got well unless we go
through this way they murmured and
complain against God
it hurts when dancing turns to doubt
when the circumstances that you face
have turned you against God I know
they’re tough circumstances but they
were walking by the Red Sea so it’s not
like God didn’t give them evidence of
his power to get you through the
supernatural everybody in here has got
at least one miracle you can’t explain
one miracle that made no sense one
miracle where God did something in your
life that you know that had to be the
Lord there was no way you were supposed
to get out of that but God brought you
out of that can I get a witness
a real winner
this place God will let you go through
something with none of your tricks you
remember your scams and none of your
degrees and none of your money and none
of your kid people can get you out and
will see enemies got you all tied up in
knots and it looks like you’ll never get
out God and cut through all of those
ropes and bring you up so that you have
a testimony and he’ll leave it in sight
to remind you that if it had not been
for the Lord that was on your side you
would have been swallowed up how can God
be so good and make such a way and then
we doubt him our doubt might set him it
bites it him it’s a painful thing to be
doubted your integrity disrespected it
occurred to me that this doubting was
not just about God they had a pathology
of doubting
these people had murmured and complained
before they had murmured and complained
against Pharaoh the same people who
murmured and complained against Pharaoh
that got God to come down and deliver
them the first place
now murmur and complain against God now
I can understand you murmuring and
complaining against Pharaoh because
favor was a slave master he was abusive
and he treated you like dirt and he made
you make bricks without straw and he
didn’t feed you and he didn’t care for
you they didn’t love you and he killed
your babies and then God delivered you
from this death mongering man and
brought you out from under his hand and
gave you so much more than you ever had
but when you have a pathology
and complaining you don’t know how to be
happy I mean these are powderpuff people
saying oh you know the wagon ride was
tough I’m getting a callus on my hips oh
you know the food service was cold it
was late coming I don’t like this what
are you talking about you were slaves
but what gives us amnesia that we forget
how bad it was before and we fall back
into these patterns these pathologies of
murmuring and complaining
I guess because I’ve counseled people
for 41 years I am aware that if you have
a murmuring individual they won’t be
happy until they find something to
murmur about I don’t care if you put
them in a Taj Mahal they say you don’t
take too long for the water get out in
these big buildings you got to wait too
long for the water get hot in my old
houses soon as you train these figured
out the water got hot
some people don’t find something to
complain about I don’t care what you do
that’s why they’re driving some of the
rest of us crazy because we need their
validation have you ever been working
hard to please somebody that’s never
satisfied come on were my real people
and no matter what you do it’s never
enough they look past everything you did
and find someone there’s as follow me a
jacket and you just want to well you
know I’m human I admit it I confess
sometimes when people disrespect your
best effort it makes you angry when
you’ve done everything you can do for
them and they still complain it makes
you angry
don’t make your love so expensive
oh that’s a tweetable right there if you
make your love too expensive people
eventually give up they get tired of
working to please you and getting
nothing but complaints in return
this isn’t about God this is about you
now when you complained about favor you
had a right to complain but some people
even if God let him they would hate him
to show he is hard you’ve been working
in the hot Sun for four hundred years
this is a piece of cake compared to that
when you have a pathology of complaining
you are only comfortable when you’re
unhappy you have to give yourself
permission to be happy to say you know
what this is so much better than that
I’m so grateful yes I have to eat the
same thing every day this stuff keeps
dropping down from heaven they call
manna it’s not exactly seasoned the way
I would season it but I’m gonna make it
work for me because I know what it needs
to live in a life where what nothing
drop in my way and now I see something
drop in my way talk to me real people
and I have learned that until you become
grateful you will never become
victorious you have to learn how to be
grateful for where you are I’m all for
being ambitious I’m all for being
aggressive but don’t let your ambition
make you ungrateful it is when you
appreciate where you are that God takes
you to the next level I told a friend of
mine the other day I said I feel funny
giving my testimony sometimes when I
tell people about how I came up and how
they took my car
I had to thumb to church and how I
passed it over ten years and didn’t have
a hundred members and how small and tiny
my church was and how none of the peels
matched and how I was working and
pastoring
at the same time working a full-time job
and getting off work and going to Pastor
when I get off work and then look at me
and they feel so sorry for me but what
they don’t understand is that when I was
living like that and going through that
it didn’t look to me like it sounds
because I was so glad that God had asked
me to do anything I was so excited about
that little church I lived that place up
it was a little storefront and I had a
chandelier right in the middle of it yes
I did I was fixing that thing up had it
all fixed up put a wreath on the door at
Christmas time it was rusty but it was a
wreath on the door glory to God because
whatever God gives you until you
appreciate where you’re at you’re not
going to get the release of what God is
about to do in your life or somebody out
a shout me down over there some people
even say you got to get grateful one of
the things that God teaches us is how to
be grateful when things and I’ll finish
the Bible says that when God was
creating the heaven on earth and the
earth was without form and void and
darkness covered the face of the need
and God said let there be light and
there was light at the end everybody
said and it was good
now the vegetation hadn’t come yet
and as far as hadn’t been placed in
place yet and the cows hadn’t begin to
move yet and the trees hadn’t begin to
wave yet but even though there were
still some muddy stuff all around God
said it was good
God is teaching us how to praise Him
even when things aren’t finished even
when everything’s not laid out even when
things are not in place you got to be
able to have small praise wings and say
I may not be finished yet but I thank
you for a little change in my life I
know you’re waiting on the big testimony
there’s gonna tear the church apart but
you got to give him praise for the
little stuff little stuff that don’t
make sense to other people when you’re
fighting your way out
you gotta get happy because you got your
hair done well I got my hair done thank
you Jesus
I’ve know it sounds silly there’s
somebody else but when you been in a
fight that’s a victory for you you need
to claim your victory there’s a
pathology of murmuring and complaining
and generally we get it from our parents
it’s passed down from the environment we
grow up in if you grow up in a race in a
house with somebody who’s unhappy they
teach you to look at life from an
unhappy perspective and even though you
hate it that when they were there it’s
contagious how many of you I don’t want
to put you on the spot find yourself
acting like your parents in a bad way
certain things that come up with you
then nobody taught you this nobody took
you to school like this but when you get
mad you flip out just like your dad
armed Helen comes back to life that’s
the pathology that is the pathology that
perverts us and causes us to linger in
the wilderness of our past because we
are still reacting to the way we take in
a spirit of bitterness number two when
they spoke against God they spoke
against
Moses generally when you are bitter not
only are you bitter against God but you
become bitter against God’s man that
goes together you can’t hate him and not
hate his representative while he keeps
saying that why he keep saying that
ain’t nothing to him they murmured and
complain almost every time you see them
murmuring against God
the next verse says they both they
murmured against Moses those things are
connected they are connected because the
enemy wants you to kill off your help so
when he gets to killing out all the
paramedics then he’s gonna let you have
a rack now you can’t call on nobody
because you spoke against everybody let
me tell you it’s hard to get your kids
to come to church when you’ve been
talking about the trans folk and loud
Willy’s on crack and you need him to
come to church but he doesn’t want to
come to church
cuz you killed all your help with your
mouth
[Applause]
they murmur and complain against Moses
and against God Moses didn’t do them but
God did God said I’m not taking this he
said I’m not taking this you were in
slavery and cried unto me I pulled you
out I pull you out of jail I pull you
out of hell I pull you out of abusive
relationships I pull you out of things
that had you stayed in you would have
been dead by now and you sit over
talking about you don’t have a new car
you was locked up in a cell block you
were living in a house somebody beaten
you upside the head now you talk about
your car don’t have stereo come on we
gonna be real tonight
and they murmured against God because of
the way he took them and that would have
been okay if these were kids born with
silver spoons in their mouth these were
folk born in slavery what happened I had
was better than where they came from
[Applause]
when I was driving down the road going
to a little town called Smithers I was
happy going to that little raggedy
Church didn’t bother me that didn’t have
no heating and I figured when we went to
shop already heat up this is why I said
what you gonna do free heat we gonna
shout when we all get there and going to
shine this gonna heat up the understand
what I’m talking about look at back head
and it sounds bad but when I was looking
at it it sounded good cuz I didn’t look
at it the way they looked at it I was
looking at it through the eyes of faith
they were looking at what it is I was
looking at what it could be you need to
stop looking at what it is and look at
what it can be
talk to me somebody
[Applause]
slap your name and tell them I’m getting
ready to work that thing the thing
you’ve been laughing at that thing
you’ve been making fun that thing you
said would never be nothing the thing
you said would never be anybody that
person you know I’m getting ready to
walk that path I only got two fish and
five loaves of bread but I’m getting
ready to work that thing I only got one
rock and a rag but I’m getting ready to
work that thing I’d only got the job but
[Applause]
I’m not gonna leave whatever I got
behind and say it’s too hard the way is
too hard and God got mad and God got mad
I don’t care who else get mad I don’t
like for God to give my head
I don’t want God to get mad I’m still
scared of God I’m scared of what I say
thank you Jesus I get around people
sometimes they get loose and they get to
using profanity and they don’t really
bother me until they use gb or something
like that and when they do that I get
real uncomfortable
cuz I figured he don’t like that and I
started moving away from you so that if
he decided to get you he don’t get me
cuz I respect him I respect him I
respect him I yes sir him respect has
gone out of style as well my brother was
nervous he called me Jackson y’all said
Bishop Jake’s he did it because he’s
nervous but some people do it because
they don’t have no respect respect is
gone out of style there I am almost
there I am 60 years old order to be your
grandfather and you calling me TV
respect has gone out of style it’s good
have respect it’s good to have honor I
don’t talk to God just any kind of way I
don’t talk to old folks just any kind of
way it don’t hurt me nothing to respect
you you was here when I was comin that
don’t belittle me to respect the fact
that you got here first if there were no
you there’d be no me honor thy father
that mother that that days may be long
in there that means the reason some folk
dies because they never honor those that
are ahead of them honoring that mean I
always agree with you it doesn’t mean
that you’re perfect it doesn’t mean that
you’re always right it just means I’m
respecting what I’m becoming
I’m respecting what I’m becoming
I respect age because I’m aging and if I
don’t respect it then I won’t be
respected and they anger God with their
disrespect and he sent serpents to bite
them and they died they died they died
the people he saved died the people he
rescued dad the people he brought out
died the people he fought free world for
died the people that six hundred
chariots drowned four died and they died
beside the Red Sea because of their
mouth I bet you at least 50% of the
troubles you have gone through in your
life have come a result of things that
have come out of your mouth when are we
going to learn that once you say
something you can’t take it back when
are we going to learn to shut our mouths
their mouths got them in trouble the
power of life and death is in the
Tongass they said things to a God who is
a speaking God
their words bit him he bit him back he
said serpents they bit liver and a lot
of them died because of their mouth I
want that to sink in we’re killing our
marriages with our mouths we’re killing
our children with our mouths we kill our
ministries with our mouths we kill our
careers with our mouths we lose our jobs
with our mouths we fall out with people
that God sent in our lives to bless us
with our mouths God opens doors that we
close with our mouths if we’re going
into 2018 the first thing we got to
learn to do is set up
say this with me in 2018 I will shut up
in 2018 I won’t say everything I think
in 2018 I will let myself be quiet now
going to shouting over what God is gonna
do when you just yeah yeah you’re gonna
cut your enemies in half just by
shutting up God wants to put you in
places that you don’t have to be quiet
when you get there or you’re gonna lose
those opportunities like you lost those
other humppa to do they don’t make you
shout and I know that I didn’t get you
excited but somebody’s got to tell you
the truth some of that stuff you lost it
wasn’t the devil it was because you
couldn’t handle it it was because you
said stuff that changed the way people
treated you and now you’re upset with
them like a demon was fighting you but
you have been snared by the words of
your mouth and if you would shut your
mouth the devil wouldn’t happen up in
the one where that’s the baby say shut
your mouth
shut your mouth shut your mouth 20:18
shut your mouth you won’t see some
things but shut your mouth you I hear
some things would shut your mouth God’s
gonna give you some opportunities but
shut your mouth you’re gonna go into
places you’ve never been before but shut
your mouth glory to God he’s gonna put
you in situations that are against what
you’re used to but shut your mouth I
don’t know who I’m talking to but I feel
like I’m talking to somebody some of
your children are not gonna be one
because of what you say they’re gonna be
one because of what you don’t say shut
your mouth if you said it five times
before saying it fat fat boy gonna make
it work no better shut your mouth if
it’s not working why don’t we keep doing
it shut your mouth why do we bark
everybody away and then cry because
their God shut your mouth you’re killing
yourself shut your mouth
and so God kill them he killed them
because of their mouth and they died and
there’s nothing I can do about them
because there are some people that won’t
change and they have to die and that’s
hard for me to say that cuz I believe
I’m in the business of changing people
but after 41 years I’ve come to realize
I don’t care what you preach some people
are gonna do what they want to do and
they’re gonna say what they want to say
and they’re gonna die in the wilderness
because they will not shut up but then
there was another group they got bitten
but they weren’t dead
they had bidden they swole up they got
sick they threw up that they weren’t
dead and they went to Moses who they’ve
been talking about and they said I know
I’m in trouble because I spoke against
God and I spoke against you we don’t
have that anymore I told you a few weeks
ago we don’t have revival because we
don’t have repentance you can’t have
revival I don’t care who you bring in to
preach you can’t have revival until you
have repentance when you have done wrong
sometimes you got to go to somewhere
I’ve been running my mouth and I’m sorry
I said some stuff I shouldn’t have said
and I recognize I’m a better person than
that and I want you to forgive me see
what I’m trying to tell you if your
mouth got you in trouble it’s gonna take
your mouth to get you out don’t let your
mouth get so arrogant that you can’t
change
if you bold enough that you’ve just got
to keep it real well keep it real when
you wrong and really bring yourself in
here and really apologize and really get
yourself together now that’s keeping it
real keeping it real don’t work just
because you flip out on me keeping it
real is when you flip out on yourself
and say I have been running my mouth and
I am sorry I’m sorry that’s why you’re
having trouble with your children cuz
they learned it from you
that’s why they won’t apologize to you
because you never modeled it in front of
them they went to Moses and he said man
look we’ve been talking about you and
we’ve been talking about God and the
reason I’m confessing is I’m sick of
getting bitten what’s happening in my
life is a result of how I see my
leadership what’s happening in my life
is a result of how I see my God how dare
me insult the one who delivered me and
all you are guilty of is trying to pull
me through the wilderness and I’m making
it hard to be saved and Moses now has to
pray for people who were talking about
it this way you got to be a big person
to be a leader you got to be a big
person to be a leader see because if
you’re not careful you’ll get bitter
over what they did to you and then when
it’s time to pray for them you’ll be
said by them again Lord I hope they get
them again get another foot try him into
the other foot I hope he bites you in
your eye while you’re laying down there
don’t pop he’ll bite your tongue so
you’re choked to death and die way you
know you turn
because you’re human and sometimes you
have to be the bigger person just
because you’re right doesn’t give you
the right to be evil you have to be
right enough that you can help people
who got it wrong so love always has to
keep the door cracked that’s why you get
to be Moses because you’re big enough to
let a brother come back that’s how you
get to be Moses and sometimes you’ll be
acting in your Moses miss and somebody
you’re connected to this talk about Amen
the fool out of you that’s why I hate to
fool with you because you just let
people make a fool of don’t listen at
them don’t listen at them their
inability to forgive will always stop
them from being who they were meant to
be the bigger person is always big
enough to forgive and create
opportunities for them to make a
comeback there are gonna be some people
who come back in your life who have done
you wrong get ready for it in 2018
you’re coming back in your life because
they’re in the kind of trouble that only
you can pray them out of and you’ve got
to be prepared to do what God calls you
to do glory to God you can’t let your
feelings control this conversation
you’ve got to open up your heart and
open your spirit and pray for the bad
person who tries to sabotage your life
try to wreck your marriage without to
your finances trying to get your
position and now they got cancer and you
got to go in and pray for them and you
got to mean it with your brain and every
time you do it God’s gonna make you a
bigger man and a bigger woman had a
bigger person and he’s gonna open up the
windows of heaven and
have more capacity to receive what he
has for you gods get ready to it large

you may be swollen but you haven’t been
beaten you had some setbacks but you
haven’t been beaten I know the devil’s
been telling you you’ve been beaten but
the devil is alive you have been busy
but you have not been beaten get that
out of your head you are not defeated if
you were defeated you would be dead God
left you here for a reason there’s a
reason the gun didn’t kill you

something for you to do my god I feel

[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I was reading about the earthquake in
Mexico and they thought everybody was
dead but there was some little girl up
underneath all the rocks they kept
making noise saying I’m alive and some
of you have been in the earthquake and
all hell has broke loose and your
neighbors said you were dead but tonight
shall
[Applause]
[Applause]
the devil don’t like it but I’m alive he
should have killed me when he had the
chance but I’m alive he bit me but he
let me alive I love some stuff you need
to show some side give up Idol side give
up Lionel praise give a final shout
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Music]
walk over it
when I paid
[Music]
so God God tells Moses he says I’m gonna
fix him now this is tough catch this I’m
gonna fix him but I’m gonna fix them
through what bit
they got bitten by a serpent and they
got healed
this is the only time in scriptures for
everybody God heal by serpent a serpent
is a symbol of evil but God said I’m
gonna use what bitches
[Applause]
now this is good anytime you heard it
but if you heard this message this
morning then this is even better because
the very thing that bit you that broke
your heart as a child that made you need
more than others that made you more
insecure than other people that made you
more vulnerable than other people the
very thing that bit you is the very
thing that God is going to use to heal
you you remember this morning when I was
talking about your board members and how
you had things that drove you to do
exceptional things and it wasn’t what
you were running to it was what you were
running from yeah some of you ran to
great things because you were running
from horrible things and the thing that
the devil meant for evil God made it
good yeah if you had not been exposed to
that you would not be as tenacious as
you are and so your ministry is made out
of your misery and the very thing that
bit them is the very thing that God used
to cure them and he said I want you to
make a serpent out of brass and in order
to make a serpent out of brass you had
to take brass and beat it and when he
was beating the brass he was acting out
Jesus who was wounded for our
transgressions and was bruised for our
iniquities and was bitten and he became
sin he became sin who knew no sin the
dog became a serpent on the cross and
epitomized everything I did wrong so
that when I looked up at the cross I
would look up at him and find life and
the Bible said even as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness so shall
the Son of Man be lifted up in the earth
in that same way God will take what was
working against you
this is powerful for where you’ve gone
in 2018 he will take the thing that was
working against you and use it to work
for you he will use it to work for you
to the point that you’re going to say it
was good for me that I was afflicted if
I had never been afflicted I would have
never seen the glory of God it was good
then it happened to me it was good that
I was afflicted it was good that I was
hurt
it was good then I was broken it was
good then I lost my job it was good that
I went through that scandal it was good
that I went through that test God’s
going to take the very thing that worked
to get you and make it work for you the
only thing that he needs from you is to
change your outlook now it takes faith
when you’ve been bitten by a serpent to
look to a serpent so when you change
your outlook for 2018 you can’t trust
the emblems of your past to determine
the implement
because God’s going to use the thing
that bit you to bless you when I was on
the front page of the paper in
Charleston it bit me it bit me for a
whole week my house is on the front page
of the paper they talked about me like I
was a dog it bit me they won’t nigger go
home all over my house they shot gun
holes through my church they tried to
scare me out of preaching the gospel
they bit me there ostracize me my mother
couldn’t take her walks my sons couldn’t
go to school it was a dark day in my
life I was bidden the woman who wrote
the first article if I could find her
I’d take her out to the finest
restaurant in Dallas
because she blessed me when she did me
because I never would have found you
[Applause]
now all of you folks who haven’t been
bitten you don’t have nothin to get
happy about but if you’ve been bitten
you ought to get happy cuz you got a
blessing coming your way
[Applause]
I wish I could meter I hope your lady if
you see this tape I’ll take you anywhere
in valise
you want to go I’ll buy you a steak so
big you’ll need two plates to hold it
I’ll treat you like gold because what
you meant to kill me gave me the
greatest blessing I’ve ever had
somebody helped me praise the night
[Applause]
[Applause]
this was the trick God said I will use
the same symbol that bit you to bless
you but this is what the trick you gonna
have to look up anything you will have
to change the way you look at the snake
he said your mouth got you in trouble
but your vision is gonna get you out I
want to spend my last few minutes
talking to people that’s got a reason
and you’ve been bitten but you got a
vision you’ve got some setbacks but you
got a vision you’ve had some swelling
but you got a vision you don’t know

prophetic word for 2018 open your mouth

[Applause]

in the summer right now and say God is
turning it around

dedicated them to giving support to
people who really are serious about
soaring giving support giving
information giving opportunities making
hookups making connections I’m gonna do
all I can do the relationships that I
have both in church and in corporate to
expose you to the best and brightest so
that you can really sort not just
philosophically but experientially in
every area of your life I want you to
join hands with somebody that’s in this
room you may be touching a nested evil
an ego that’s in a mess you may be
touching a wounded ego one that’s been
bitten by a serpent they’ve been bitten
but they’ve not been beaten what I’m
telling you is said this is an
opportunity for you to get a new outlook
I’m asking you to put a guard over your
mouth stop murmuring and complaining the
enemy is using your tongue against you
not another day say it with me not
another day
whatsoever things are lovely and pure
enough good report that’s what I want
you to talk that’s what I want you to
think about I’m praying like Paul that
the eyes of your understandings might be
enlightened then you might know what
it’s a hope of your calling the thing
that the Lord impressed upon me he said
you are not going to get it done just
because you’re smart in business or
you’re a great parent or you’re a great
preacher he said you’re gonna get it
done because you are back to looking at
him all eyes on him every person that
you’re touching has a dream every person
that you’re touching has a vision
they’re not trusting in themselves so
the devil can stop telling you what all
you’re not you’re not counting on you to
do it it is not by might nor by power
but by my spirit says the Lord you’re
not going to do the preaching the Holy
Ghost is gonna do the preacher
it’s gonna come up out of your belly
when you get into business meeting it’s
gonna come up out of your belly that’s
gonna make connections he’s gonna bring
a roof into the life of a Naomi he’s
gonna give a name only until the life of
a roof you’re going to the next level
God brought you here tonight to seal the
deal and even the ice couldn’t stop you
from getting here tonight’s your night
father as we join hands that we connect
we recommit our life our year our energy
our effort our time our resources over
the youth there are people in here who
have great business skills but they have
not operated in faith there are people
in here that are owned businesses they
don’t tithe they don’t support they
don’t do the faith Department they’re
trying to do the business part we repent
of that we’re not coming at the devil
with one hand we’re gonna come with both
hands we’re going to come with fight and
faith
there are other people there great tires
they got great faith but they don’t ever
go do anything they don’t ever get out
of their comfort zone they’re sitting
back waiting on God to do stuff that God
